Discover history in an exciting environment and in an innovative manner!

Located between the lake and the city centre, in direct proximity to the Art House and the State Theatre, the architectural masterpiece of the new vorarlberg museum forms the end of the culture boulevard. The main point of attraction is the more than 150,000 artefacts from art, history, folklore and archaeology that deal with the history and present of Austria’s westernmost federal state from a wide range of perspectives.

Theater am Kornmarkt

The State Theatre in Bregenz plays a significant role in the cultural happenings of Vorarlberg’s state capital. The repertoire ranges from classics to debut performances. The theatre, as a place of imagination, stories and emotions, focuses consciously on traditional and contemporary theatre art, thus finding its recognition in the cultural landscape of the Lake Constance region.

An important component that refines Bregenz city life is the weekly markets. Guests experience the markets as places of encounters that invite one to discover a variety of culinary delights and specialities. Locals, too, take advantage of the appealing opportunity to find tasteful, high-quality products for kitchen and household. Hospitableness and down-to-earthness characterise the city’s market bustle. An inspiring wealth of culinary art vivifies the streets and squares, which invite one on a delightful journey of discovery.

KUB architecture

The Art House stands in the light of Lake Constance. Its structure is built from glass plates, steel and a stone mass of cast concrete that forms structure and space in the interior of the building. Viewed from outside, the building gives the impression of an illuminant.

Bregenz
In Bregenz, locals and visitors alike enjoy the interplay of contrasts:
On one side Lake Constance, on the other side the mountains; the relaxed rhythm of a small city with 28,000 inhabitants here, the lively range of cultural opportunities of international rank there. This mix, this special flair, characterises Vorarlberg’s state capital. It offers its guests the best views – not just at the lake stage – and a setting that leaves one wanting more: cycling, hiking, bathing, a boat trip, a shopping stroll, concerts, museums, galleries, etc. – simply put, the plus by the lake.
